PeterFest


April 18, 2015


1 p.m. Memorial Service at Schley Grange Hall, 3416 Schley Road, Hillsborough, NC   27278

3 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Musical Celebration at Down Yonder Farm, 811 Lipscomb Grove Church Road, Hillsborough, NC

NOTE - In case of rain the entirety of PeterFest will be held at Schley Grange Hall.  Check the blog at www.peterupdates.blogspot.com for news and information.
WHAT TO BRING:  The Musical Celebration will be the equivalent of an outdoor concert, so bring folding chairs, blankets, and even a picnic meal if you plan to stay the duration.  Bring water bottles and your beverage(s) of choice. We will have snacks on hand along with iced tea and lemonade.  Remember sun block and bug spray.

We will have seating and amenities for our out-of-town guests.

If you would like to bring some snacks to share with others (very helpful), please send an email to downyonderfarm@gmail.com with "SNACKS" in the subject line.  Our wonderful food coordinator will be in touch with you to plan.

WHAT NOT TO BRING:  1. Children   2. Dogs or any other pets    3. Illicit substances. Thank you.

WHERE TO PARK:  There should be ample parking at the Grange, but very limited parking at Down Yonder Farm.  We ask visitors to carpool and park at Lipscomb Grove Baptist Church, which is across the street from the entry to our driveway, and 4/10 of a mile from the farm.  If you need to drive down and park at the farm, please come with a full car.  You can pick up passengers at the church, and we'll have a few people driving shuttles.

THE MUSIC:  Peter chose most of the music being played at PeterFest, but we're planning for some open mic time for others to play and sing.  If you'd like to participate,please send an email to downyonderfarm@gmail.com with "OPEN MIC" in the subject line and someone will be in touch to coordinate.

WHO IS COMING:  We are expecting quite a crowd!  We are excited to have so many out of town guests coming.  This event will bring together family and friends from the many eras of Peter's life.

Please take time to sign the register at both places so we'll have a record of your time with us, and please write a card for the memory tree.

EMAIL LIST:  The Down Yonder Fund for the Arts (DYFA) will continue Peter's legacy of generosity and hospitality for musicians and artists.  If you want to receive (very occasional) news of events at the farm, send an email to downyonderfarm@gmail.com with "LIST" in the subject line.

And, very soon we will have our own DYFA website where you can keep up with events at the farm.

Thank you to all of the generous donors who have made the Down Yonder Fund for the Arts possible, and to the Shared Visions Foundation for housing the fund.  Donations to keep the arts alive on the farm can be made at the blogsite:

We look forward to seeing you all on the 18th!
